LG056: Potted Exotics: What about Olives, Lemons, and Figs??
When your client says, “I’d like something different. Something unique,” or maybe you have a job that needs a special flourish. A Mediterranean touch.
What about adding potted olives, lemons, and figs as a premium choice you can help with.
Although none of these plants are fully hardy here in Ontario. They all do well in containers. And they can all take colder temperatures than many people realize. That means that you have overwintering options.
During this half day seminar participants will find out how to successfully grow maintain, prune and fertilize potted olive trees, potted lemon trees, and potted fig trees.
A seminar for those looking to hear a new potting idea for their next job or just for their own personal interest
